The rain was falling silently and quietly, densely and closely, but not to the point of forming raindrops.

  After receiving a set of ordinary sacrificial robes from the Earth God Temple, Fang Xin arrived at the City Guardian Temple early next morning.

  On the artificial bluestone on the palace steps was a patch of wet water marks, Fang Xin stepped up and came to the side hall, reporting to an old man who had just gotten up.

  "Welcome, I am the Shangzhang here. Is this your first time doing this job?" The old man said spiritedly.

  "It's all right, thank you for your concern." Fang Xin replied.

  "You sweep the Ling Tower in the morning, have a free Chinese lunch at noon, and you can participate in the class at 1 o'clock in the afternoon." Fang Xin responded with a sound, this kind of thing is equivalent to voluntary work, not too restrictive, actually just let people experience it.

  The Ling Tower was originally very clean, with some incense ash, sacrificial fruits, and fresh flowers that needed to be handled. At this time, the monk took out an old broom and began to sweep the Ling Tower.

  The raindrops fell to the ground and disappeared. The lights had automatically stopped by eight o'clock, leaving only the lights on the soul tower still shining.

  Fang Xin still quite likes this atmosphere, has finished sweeping, so-called rest for a while, he saw someone had come to offer incense and worship in front of the memorial tablet.

  He also slowed down his pace of walking in the face of such a situation.

  The gods of China value integrity over grandeur.

  "The earth is Kun De, thick and virtuous, carrying all things. All things are born from it, move with it, inherit from it, and return to it. Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth. All things are reborn in the later earth. Therefore, establish the land and city walls, to bring blessings to the people below. The city walls, holding the power of yin and yang, distinguishing good and evil..." Fang Xin stood before the numerous spirit towers, beginning to read silently.

  This is the Scripture of City God's Blessing, Fang Xin naturally cannot believe in it, but he can recite it with his heart and spread its power before him, without taking or entering himself.

  Land and City God, is the most common god of folk beliefs in Huaxia for two thousand years. It has been passed down in Asia, is very common in the Americas, and exists in Europe, although it is relatively rare.

  Although the deity is not high, it is a positive god. More importantly, the controlled authority is closely related to the common people, driving out evil spirits, granting blessings, and seeking wealth are all included.

  As he muttered the incantation, the Jade-like intention within his body suddenly stirred, emitting a golden light of merit that pierced through to the spot between his eyebrows, making him feel an itch in his brow and a flash before his eyes.

  The whole world suddenly became completely different, with all things shrouded in varying degrees of brilliance. The entire City God Temple was enveloped in a layer of faint red light, and even the sky above was filled with dark red clouds that seemed to envelop everything.

  As the Cheng Huang prayer was recited, with each word, golden merits and virtues radiated brilliant light dots. The red light on top of the City God Temple merged with it. A little further away, there were endless, identical mantra sounds coming from afar, and the light waves rippled over like a circle of ripples. Moreover, within the light, a statue of the God of Fortune was seen, which should be the Cheng Huang God!

  Yu Ruyi did not allow the red light to approach, and the entire invisible merit light swirled up, only allowing the outside to combine with the red light, turning into a rain of light, falling on the entire Chenghuang Temple, and sprinkling onto all the spirit towers.

  After the fusion of golden and red lights, some remaining black auras in the spiritual towers instantly dissipated. A moment later, each tower emitted a faint spiritual glow, and with it, many shadows appeared inside, but due to the radiant sunlight, they could not emerge from the towers.

  The Cheng Huang Qi Fu Jing is not long, and it only takes about three minutes to recite one round. Recite it 36 times in a row.

  Wholeheartedly reciting, sincere and genuine, but without taking or entering, nowhere to dwell while reciting, until he finished, it was already around ten o'clock.

  Yu Ruyi's merits and virtues shone brightly as they were withdrawn, and the spiritual eye disappeared. Fang Xin himself had not yet opened this eye, but after careful observation, he found that the merits in Yu Ruyi had not decreased, and seemed to have increased slightly, although the increase was extremely small. He let out a sigh of relief and did not linger, leaving immediately.

  Although he knew that staying in the temple, participating in the chanting, would have some learning value, but now his time was not very sufficient. His cultivation focused on midnight and early morning, which could basically meet his needs, but he still had to read books, so sword practice was put off until 1-3 pm. After all, from 3:30 to 5:00, he had to go to the Qing Shu Hospital's third floor, room 395, ward 8, to visit Mr. Chu Yishun and chant scriptures for him.

  The rain brought a gentle breeze as it walked onto the streets filled with green shade, Fang Xin suddenly felt free and easy, full of composure.

  Although he is alone, but if you take away the loneliness, this world gives him a feeling that is quite wonderful.

  However, humans have been freed from jobs similar to coal mining, steel workers, and chemical on-site work by mechanical people, and universal social welfare protection. Nevertheless, there are still many differences in some problems that come from human beings themselves, such as family, social status, and even medical treatment.

  In the distance was his own An Yi Jing She. Fang Xin hastened his pace and arrived at the entrance, where the door silently swung open.

  "Welcome." said the familiar female student waitress.

  Fang Xinxiao smiled and nodded in response, swiped his card, and the door to the inner area opened. The front section was open to the public for viewing, but the back section required membership to access.

  Inside, no carpet is used, real wood is used, and crystal lamps are hung in the corridor, emitting a faint light.

  Passing through a corridor, I came to a courtyard. The courtyard was very large and there were more than twenty people inside, but almost no young boys could be seen, all of them were over 20 years old.

  Some of them were practicing with each other, or competing against each other, while others were commenting on what they saw. However, the opponent said that all of this was meaningless - these were just local martial arts enthusiasts, but not masters, similar to chess enthusiasts from past lives, only having some basic level, considered as enthusiasts, but without achieving mastery.

  Fang Xin didn't prepare to contact them, they played this as a kind of pastime and game, and due to economic limitations, they usually merged and used a set together.

  Fang Xin started his own training in a separate room.

  It's still the basic foundation exercise, a total of 24 movements. According to the textbook, these 24 movements have exercised all the muscles of the human body, and can even exercise internal organs, it is the root technique that has been summarized and refined for two thousand years.

  Fang Xin deeply believed in this statement, with the Jade-like Intention, he could consume merits to supervise his physical condition. Indeed, he found that every movement could mobilize and exercise the whole body circulation, even taking care of parts that general exercises might not reach. Even if a person did not practice anything else, as long as they persisted in this, longevity and health could be obtained.

  After last time's Qigong practice, Fang Xin's body underwent a subtle development, with improvements in the nervous system, muscles, internal organs, and even the brain. However, this development is only potential, and external exercise is essential to perfectly guide this development. Therefore, these 24 movements are indeed the supreme method for transforming Gongde.

  It's been a month now, and development is basically complete. The physical condition has further solidified, this is what truly counts as a successful transformation, without any regrets left behind.

  The twenty-four basic exercises were all completed, each movement was qualified and in place, smooth and natural, pulling to various parts of the body, internal energy coordinating with the physical body, wherever it went, it was effortless and natural, this feeling is really wonderful.

  Now Fang Xin feels that his strength has increased greatly, his neural responses have also improved, and the toughness of each joint has been strengthened.

  It's time to practice real Yue Men swordsmanship, Fang Xin thought to himself.
